SYNOPSIS
D'ir.e Carrol—veung artist and
wealthy orphan, more interested
in her work than society—visits
the little village of Pme Knob in
the Ozarks. Her sunny disposition
melts the usual frigidity of the
mountaineers towards strangers
and they accept her as one, oi the
"home folks”—al! except Ann
Haskel, whose word is law in Pine
Knob. Diane, nevertheless, is fas-
cinated by Ann about whom' she
has heard conflicting stories of
generosity and hardness. The
mountain woman seems to be
avoiding Diane, but her good-for-

In resigning they challenged
“Estes and the rest of the bunch" to
likewise resign in the interests of
harmony.
The resignations followed a per-
sonal quarrel between Hussion and
state administrator Adam Johnson
across the council table in the re-
lief commission meeting room.
Johnson stalked from the room in
anger, rather than “be lectured" by
Hussion.
Hussion had critivized Johnson
for firing three employe's of the re-
lief headquarters “two hours after
he took office.’’
Johnson was appoited over the
protest of Hussion and three others
comprising a minority.

low-s the artist everywhere. Ann
has a son of her own, John Her-
bert Haskel, whom she sent away
years ago, following the death of
her first^husband. Diane’s best
friends among the mountaineers
are “Uncle Jimmie” arul “Aunt
Josie” .Cartwright who have prom-
ised to protect her from the an-
noying Jeff. One day, Ann comes
upon Diane painting in Shady
Creek Valley and brusquely asks:
“What be you a-doin’ hyear?”
Diane apologizes for trespassing.
Ann’s demeanor changes immedi-
ately and she says: “You’re wel-
come. I got sense to see you ain’t
a-hurtin’ nobody.” Seeming to re-
lax and grow more friendly, Ann
confides in Diane that, while the
people of the woods are better
than the society folks at t the
Lodge, still the backwoods would
be no place to raise young folks
who could be something if given a
chance. Diane realizes that the
mountain woman was revealing
more of her life than she. intended
and the girl’s heart went out to
her. Then, abruptly changing the
subject, Ann upbraids Diane for
“doin’ sich triflin’, play-work as
this hyear pitcher-paintin’.” Next
day, the storm keeps the Lodge
guests indoors trying to amuse
themselves with jazz and cock-
tails. Although they all like Diane,
they are a little in awe of this
young woman whose wealth al-
lowed her to do “nothing” but who
insisted on living to some good
purpose.
CHAPTER X.
That first rainy day of indoor en-
tertainment had nearly exhausted
Diane’s powers of endurance. When
the second day promised only a
continuation of the delirium, she
rebelled. She was homesick for
the friends of her own World. A
week more and she would be re-
turning to them. Why, oh, why,
could not the rain have Waited un-
til she was safely away? She had
been all Tight when she could spend
the greater part of her time paint-
ing, but another day shut in with
these people would drive her mad.
By noon the rain had ceased, al-
though the clouds were still low
and threatening. Diane suddenly
decided she simply tnuet go out.
She managed to draw her^ hostess
aside long enough to explain that
she was going for a rfde.
“You’re crazy, as usupl,” this
friend of her girlhood* assured her,
cheerfully. “But you’ll probably
find the Ridge Road not impassable
—if you can manage to get that
far. Go ahead. It’s all right with
me.”
Donning waterproof and fishing
boots, the artist stole away to the
garage and, before any of the more
venturesome spirits could offer to
join her, was safely away in the
roadster which was hers to use
whenever she needed a car. Well
clear of the Lodge and free from
unwanted company, her spirits
rose. She thrilled with a feeling
of adventure. The dank mists
closed in about her. She was iso-
lated from living things in a world
of mystery. The ghostly woods
were haunted by weird gray shapes
that appeared and changed and
vanished as she passed., More than
ever she felt that strange things
were hidden in the vast, s:Jent
depth of that forest, and in the se-
cret places of those hills.
The Haskel house loomed dark
and forbidding, with no sign of life.
Should she stop and call on Ann
Haskel? The mountain woman’s
talk would certainly be refreshing
today. But Ann had not invited
her to call, and to assume an in-
vitation from such a woman was
not so easy. Probably, too, the in-
hospitable Nance Jordan would
meet her at the door to tell her
that Ann was not at home. She
might even be received bv Jeff
Todd.
At the store, where Wilderness
Road crossed the Ridge Highway,
she decided, in a spir\f of perverse-
ness, to disregard the advice of her
hostess. Instead of turning into
the comparatively dry graded
highway and following along the
crest of the ridge, she continued
on over the ridge and down the
mountain toward Wilderness Sta-
tion. . X
Pappy Giles came out of the
store and shouted to her, but she
Sized crec-k of brown muddy water.
While she was st;r. som? distance
away on the hill above, Diane heard
it tumbling and 1 oaring boistc*-*
ouslv down the hollow as if feeling
itself of unusual importance. But
the fording place was wide, with
a hard bottom, and the swift
running water was
deep.
Between the Pine Knob store ami \ gaged with thetx engine at the turn-
Wildemess Station there are fUe table, making ready for the trip
or six such streams. Ordinarily ( back to the junction. The only per-
they are shallow trickles of bright1 son in sight who seemed available
information was the good-
y'»nug woman who stood

she crossed the first one, that to-'

water, with scarcely volume enough jfor inf
to wet more tna;. the tires of a ' looking
day they would all be swollen by
the rain and that some of them
might even be impassible. But the
uncertainty of hew far she could
go merely added to the interest of
the adventure. At each creek she
told herself that the next would
surely force her to turn back, while
feach successful crossing enticed
her to go on.
She had crossed four of the
creeks and was more than halfway
to the station when she, decided
that, as she would be leaving for
home in a few mere days, she might
as well go on now to the station
and telegraph her butler. Wilson,
when to expect her. Also she could
ask about trains and make Pull-
man reservations.
The very thought of making
definite arrangements for her de-
parture pleased her. She would
stop in her native city only long
enough to settle finally the ques-
tion of what to do with the old
Carrol home, now that Aunt Jes-
sica no.long4r needed it Then she
would go back to New York—to
her own world, to her apartment,
her studio, and her fellow-artists.
She had, on the whole, enjoyed her
visit to the Ozarks. She did not
feel that the time had been wasted.
But she promised herself that when
next she went anywhere to paint,
it would not be with a party of
vacationists.
The last of the creeks to be
crossed before reaching Wilderness
Station was the largest of them all
and it gave Diane a moment’s
doubt. The water was well up to
the running-board. If it should
rise higher— She reassured her-
self with the reflections that the
rain was certainly over; that the
water would fall, not rise; and that,
anyway, she would be only a few
minutes at the station, which was
now less than a mile away.
A stubby train, consisting of a
diminutive old locomotive, three un-
dersized box-cars, and one ancient
combination day coach and bag-
gage-car, was puffing, rattling, and
squeakipg its winding, narrow-
gauge way toward Wilderness Sta-
tion.
As Diane drew up at the statipn
house she heard the whistle echo-
ing and reechoing wildly from hill
to hill. The boy telegraph operator-
ticket agent-express agent-bag-
gageman-stationmaster came opt
stood expectantly beside the ^tracks,
eager to perform his various du-
ties. He could not. at such a mo-
ment, Diane realized, be bothered
with a mere Western Union mes-
sage.
Standing at a respeetfnl distance
from the official reception commit-
tee, the young woman watched the
ridiculous little train toiling up the
last stretch of the long grade with
an interest which she had never
felt in any modern de luxe express
pulling majestically into a metro-
politan terminal. This poor little
baby railroad which had come to
such an ignominious end was the
connecting link between her world
and the world of Uncle Jimmie and
his old woman. Pappy Giles, Jeff
Todd. Nance Jordan, and Ann
Harkel.
Witn what threatened to be its
last gasp the decrepit old engine
dragged its burden slowly up to
the station house. The engineer
and fireman waved triumphant
greetings to the station force. The
station crew shouted a glaa “How-
dy. Frank! Hey there, Jim!” The
conductor called. “Howdy, boy!”
The brakeman grinned a cheerful
greeting.
Diane looked on with quiet
amusement—the amusement of the
sophisticated city observer watch-
ing the w-ys of country folk. Then
she saw a solitary figure coming
doubtfully down the steps of the
rattletrap coach.
There was no mark of the back- j
woods upon this traveler wVol
seemed to be wondering if he had '
clean ij *ir.g His face was string
bot fin.ly carved—the lace of a
sv-den. poet, a lover of beauty, an
idealist, a Jitamer of beautiful
dreams.
Bill CarroPr artist daughter si-
dy no one is expected at the
Lodge.l’ she thought, “or I would
have hcar^i about it,”
The atrr .ger looked about un-
certainly M he station crew and
the brakeman were busy unloading
* trunk *nd the express. The con-
ductor was baav with his reports
scarcely hub j or somc-chmg, ,n the station house.
1 The engineer and fireman were en-
seemed to be regarding him with
kindly, if curious, interest. He ap-
proached Diane.
“7 beg pardon. Is this Wilder-
ness Station?”
' “Yes.”
Again he looked anxiously about.
“I was old there would be a con-
veyance .-ere which would take me
to Pine ~uob store. I mean,-1 un-
derstood that some one always met
the train for the mail. You are
not—?”
Diane smiled. “Sorry, but I am
not.”
The stationmaster, when he had
finished his work as baggageman,
informed the traveler in Diane’s
hearing-.that n* one came for the
mail when it rained, because the
creeks would be ud.
“But look here,” Diane broke in.
“/ came.”
The railroad man grinned. *1
take it you’re froiri the Lodge?”
“I am,” returned Diane, wonder-
ing what being from the Lodge had
to do with the weather and the
creeks.
The agent v#as regarding her
with respectful interest. “How did
£ou find it?” he asked. . '
“How did I find what?”
‘The creeks. Were they up
much?”
“They were not impassable, nat-
urally, as I am here.”
“Going out on this train, are
you?”
“No. I’m going back to the Lodge
as soon as I send a telegram and
make Pullman reservations for
next Thursday.” .
The railroad man looked at the
sky. “If you’re going back you’d
better be starting in a hurry. It
would be safer if you'd wait till
morning.”
“But I can’t do that,” gasped
Diane. “No one knows where I am.
The rain is over, don’t you "think?”
“Not yonder it ain’t,” returned
the agent, pointing to the sky.
“It’s been raining hard all day up
there in the Big Pine Mountains.
With all that water coming, the
creeks between here and the Lodge
ain’t gping down, they’re going up.”
Diane rushed the station man into
his tiny office, where she quickly
wrote her telegram and made the
necessary reservations for her re-
turn to civilization. She was hur-
rying toward her ear when she
nearly ran down the stranger who
was gazing with the air of a lost
sou] at the forest-clad mountains
and the sky. He had listened to
the conversation between the artist
and the railroad man without offer-
ing a word. Nor had it occurred to
the two who- were discussing
Diane’s situation that this traveler
was in the same predicament.
“Oh, I forgot all about you," the
artist exclaimed as the young man
apologized for being in her way.
“I’m going right past Pine Knob
store. Be glad to give you a lift
if you care to risk it. You heard
what the man said.”
“I would be everlastingly grate-
ful to you,” he returned, his face
lighting Vip with relief. “I was
wondering how the deuce I was to
manage.”
“Better not chance iE miss,” ad-
vised the station man,‘who had fol-
lowed Diane out for another look
at the sky. “You can both of you
camp here with me for the night.
I'm bachin’ and can’t offer you such
comforts as you are used to, but
you are welcome to what I have "
He looked at Diane. “You’d be per-
fectly safe. miss. Better take a
fool’s adviqe.”
For a moment Diane hesitated
while the stranger stood silently
waiting.
The girl spoke with quick deci-
sion. “Thank you.” she said to the
agent, “b^ I’m going back.”
They turned inquiringly toward^
the straiiger. He smiled and with-
out a word proceeded to stow his
bags in the back of the roadster.
